Macro Keybind FAQ
20 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the keybind menu?
Press your SNEAK key + GRAVE (the key below ESC by default) to open the keybind interface. If this doesn't work, check your Controls settings to see what key is bound to open the macro menu.
Can I bind a macro to a key that's already used for something else?
Yes. After binding the macro, you can activate it by pressing your MACRO ACTIVATE key (set in options) followed by the key, or by pressing MACRO OVERRIDE + the key. This lets you use keys like WASD or T for both their normal function and your macros.
How do I make a macro run multiple commands at once?
When entering commands in the keybind menu, separate each command with a pipe character "|" (for example: `/say Hello|/emote dances|/say Goodbye`). All commands will execute when you press the key.
Can I have different macros for different servers?
Yes, the mod automatically detects which server you're on and loads the correct configuration. You can set up separate macro profiles for each server without any manual switching.
How do I create a custom in-game menu with macro buttons?
Use the Custom GUI feature in the mod to design your own menu layout, then bind your macros to buttons within that GUI. This lets you organize related macros into a single clickable interface without cluttering your hotkeys.
Can I use time delays between commands in a macro?
Yes, the mod supports scripting parameters that allow you to add delays between commands, making it possible to create auto-announcers, timed messages, or other sequential actions.
What happens if a server admin has restricted macro features?
Server admins can use the Client Permissions plugin to lock down certain mod features. If a feature is restricted, you won't be able to use it on that server, but your macros will still work on other servers where they're allowed.
Can I copy or move macros between different keys?
Yes, you can drag and drop macros from one key to another in the keybind menu to quickly reorganize or duplicate your bindings.
Do I need to alt-tab to edit complex macros?
No, the mod includes an in-game text editor so you can create and modify macros directly in Minecraft without leaving the game.
Can macros access lists like friends, homes, or warp points?
Yes, the mod includes easy-to-use parameters for common lists like friends, items, and locations, allowing you to create macros that reference these without typing them manually each time.
What does the Macro Keybinds Mod do?

Can I use the same key for a macro and a normal function?
